Feeling Old ... Very Old

Right before Chad Campbell came into the Media Center on Thursday for an interview following his first-round 65, I took a glance in the PGA Tour's Media Guide to refresh my memories of him.

Well, low and behold, the Media Guide reveals that Chad and I share the same birthday, May 31. ... Now, the downer. Campbell was born in 1974 -- the same day I graduated from high school. Big Ouch.

Still, I'm pulling for the quietly funny Texan, who last made Upstate waves in the 2003 PGA Championship at Oak HIll. He finished second to Shaun Micheel in that event when Micheel stuffed a 7-iron to within 2 inches on the 72nd hole.

"We had a fun battle that day," Campbell remembered.

Campbell followed his co-leading 65 with a 72 on Friday and is six strokes behind new leader Steve Flesch.
